After having read the repair guide I feel that I can live with the missing pixels on my display. Or pay BMW for fixing it. I imagine there is no easy way. Good luck Apples.

wow thats amazing work! I have done something similar but it was on an a31 nissan cefiro, it went from sedan to ute then recently into an r33 gt-r look! But I dont think I can compare the workmanship done with your m5! What a bespoke job! Good one!

Article on Fox Sports Australia: The pro and the bagman - Access All Areas - Fox Sports


"Balls, Chop," Appleby, the world No.36, the 2001 Australian Open champion and an eight-time winner on the US PGA Tour, calls to his caddie before dialling straight in with a wedge, cushioning the 50-metre marker on the fly and peppering the 80-metre pin. Appleby switches clubs, pulling a mid-iron and hitting a succession of raking fades while talking to Chopper - and anybody within earshot, really - about his new ute, a BMW M5, segueing imperceptibly into a description of his set-up.

You guys know of anybody that makes carbon fibre gear knobs for BMW 6 speeds?
The one the Ute has now needs a fresher look and I thought that a carbon one might be good to match the carbon hand brake.

Article summarising the build of the M5 Ute

I have now completed a detailed Ute build story on the M5 Ute using edited posts from this forum by Apples. My sincere thanks for allowing access to a great story that unfolded thru this Forum over a long period of time. The story is posted on my Aussie website - Link: Cars of Australia : Car Reviews

Turner Motorsport (M5 vendor). And you can take out the insert and put in your own choice.
